Ryan Potulny has signed a two-year contract with Avangard to play in the KHL.

He inked a two-year deal with the Russian club in May, but suffered a shoulder injury that will require surgery. Potulny has been a strong AHL player during his professional career, but hasn't had any success at the NHL level.

Ryan Potulny had two assists Wednesday night in Hershey's 4-0 win over St. John's.

Potulny, who has 11 points, last played in the NHL in the 2010-11 season with the Senators. He's spent the last two seasons with the Caps' AHL affiliate and will likely continue to be minor league depth. Zach Hamill, a 2007 first-rounder of the Bruins who is now with the Caps, had a goal in the win, his 17th point of the season.

The Ottawa Senators said on Monday that they will not retain the rights to Ryan Potulny, Cody Bass and Jason Bailey.

All three players will become unrestricted free agents on Friday after not getting qualifying offers. Potulny skated in just 10 games with Chicago and Ottawa last season, but was outstanding in Binghamton's drive to a Calder Cup championship with 26 points in 23 playoff games to lead all scorers. Ottawa GM Bryan Murray called the decision a favor to Potulny and Bass to try to get them one-way contracts elsewhere.

Ryan Potulny is leading the AHL in playoff scoring with 25 points in 17 games.

The former Flyers' third-round pick, along with Zack Smith and Robin Lehner, is one of the major reasons the Binghamton Senators are in the AHL finals. The Baby Sens are waiting for the winner of the Houston/Hamilton series to see who they will face for the Calder Cup. Potulny will be 27 by the time NHL training camp rolls around so his best years may be behind him.

Ryan Potulny registered eight goals and six assists in seven games for Binghamton in their first-round playoff match-up against Manchester.

Potulny skated in 10 NHL games during the regular season, but he failed to post a single point over that span. The Senators' AHL affiliate came back from a 3-1 series deficit to advance into the second round of the postseason by winning all four contests in overtime.

Ryan Potulny has been traded to Ottawa Senators, with a conditional second round pick, for defenseman Chris Campoli and a conditional seventh round selection.

Potulny has 18 goals and 41 points in 58 games with Chicago's AHL affiliate in Rockford. He skated in three games with the Blackhawks this season, but the way the Senators are going through players in 2010-11 he could get a shot in the NHL again down the stretch.

He is expected to be in the lineup on Monday night against the Colorado Avalanche where he will likely skate on the fourth line. Potulny has appeared in two games for the Hawks this season and is still looking for his first point.

The New York Rangers have been unable to fill the void at center caused by the broken fibula to Mika Zibanejad.

The injury occurred two weeks ago and Zibanejad is still projected to be out of action for another month. The Rangers have tried J.T. Miller and Brandon Pirri in his spot but neither have worked out. The Rangers are a solid Stanley Cup contender and will just wait it out until Zibanejad returns to action. The talented Swede has 15 points in 18 games thus far.

Chris Kreider gave New York a 1-0 lead in the first period, while Jets forward Mark Scheifele tied it up in the second. Hayes scored the go-ahead goal on the power play with only 1:09 remaining in regulation. Ryan McDonagh and J.T. Miller picked up the assists on the goal. Hayes has 11 goals and nine assists in 28 games in 2016-17. Those are much better totals than many expected from him at this point of the season.

Oscar Lindberg and Adam Clendening will take their customary seats in the Rangers' press box on Saturday against Carolina.

Unfortunately it seems as though neither player has much of a role with the team at this time. Clendening has just seven games of action, and Lindberg, who at least is still working his way back from hip surgery, has 11.

Jimmy Vesey has been sideline with an upper body injury and will not play Thursday against the Jets.

Thus ends his illustrious 27-game playing streak dating back to his NHL debut. Okay, it's not quite that dramatic. But this is his first game out. He was seen riding the bike however, so perhaps the injury is not in his hands, wrists or arms.

Brandon Pirri has not picked up a point in the seven games since Mika Zibanejad has been out of action.

It was thought that Pirri would get a much better opportunity to score and produce with Zibanejad injured, but he has yet to find the scoresheet even though his ice time has increased to 14:50 from 12:10. He has five goals and 10 points in 26 games.

JT Miller snapped his four-game point drought during Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Islanders.

In fact, he hasn't scored a goal in six games. Miller's torrid pace has certainly cooled, but it coincides with a (presumably minor) knee injury that required stitches. His season's totals are still great, with eight goals and 20 points in 27 games.

Nicklas Jensen is set to make his Rangers debut against the Jets on Thursday.

Jensen posted six points in 24 games spread over the last three season with Vancouver. However he's picked up 23 goals and 40 points in 62 games with Hartford, the Rangers AHL affiliate. The 22-year-old is ready to prove his mettle.

Kevin Klein is expected to draw back into the lineup on Saturday after being a healthy scratch Thursday.

Rangers coach Alain Vigneault is hoping he'll see more urgency in Klein's game after being scratched. Adam Clendening will probably be taken out of the lineup to make room for Klein, though that wasn't confirmed.

Staal picked up his third goal of the season during Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Islanders. It was his second goal in three games. He has now just 37 career markers, so we'd just enjoy this mini-streak for what it is.

Holden had a very good rookie season in 2013-14 with 10 goals and 25 points in only 54 games with Colorado but has not come very close to that point production ever since. But he has started off with a bang in New York and his plus-11 rating makes him an excellent waiver wire candidate at this time in almost every league.

He cleared waivers on Monday, but stayed with the Panthers until he was moved, along with a conditional seventh-round pick, in exchange for Dylan McIlrath. Kampfer has 23 points in 134 career NHL appearances.

The rookie defenseman played seven NHL games last season and then chipped in with five during the playoffs. He had six assists in his previous five games before the Flames ended the streak Saturday. Skjei has nine assists in 15 games and has been a valued member of the Rangers defensive corps this season.

Antti Raanta allowed one goal on 18 shots in Thursday's 2-1 win over the Winnipeg Jets.

Raanta has been one of the better backup goalies in the NHL this season. He wasn't overly busy tonight, but he managed to do enough to win a close game. Raanta has a 6-1-0 record with a 2.05 goals-against-average and a .932 save percentage. He'd only become relevant in fantasy leagues if Henrik Lundqvist were to miss some time.
